Dreams from West Virginia

Good Morning,

So today I write from Roanoke... West Virginia... (sorry to all my DC and VA readers, I am not in your area yet). R and I are staying at the Stonewall resort here, very nice place, where we have actually gone a few times over the last few years. For our second anniversary we came to WV and camped and white water rafted, and its sort of been a tradition since then. This weekend was nice, despite the rain. We actually didn't 'do' anything per se (you like the use of per se, don't you, even though there is no statute saying i had to do anything). We just relaxed, which is exactly what the Dr ordered after 9+ months of grueling labor at WLS.

On to D.C. today!!!!

Law School: Thing I did right & things I would change

Thing I did right in my first year of law school & things I would change if I could do it again.

Thing I did right

• I learned how to write the correct way
• I learned early to label everything I: R: A: C: in everything I do
• I spent time away from studying listening to advise from 2Ls & 3Ls that really helped
• I got to know alot of new friends. There is no point to experiencing anything in life without getting a taste for everything.

Things I would change

• I don't know if I would do the study group thing again (sorry guys, i think i work better on my own)
• I would actually brief all the cases for every class
• I would read law review articles and treatises to help understand stuff better
• I would spend more time in the library analyzing cases
• I would actually learn the case names (see civ pro final)
• I would pay more attention to the blue book

This list will be updated periodically over the next few days
